They're fun for five minutes, and maybe useful for practicing getting some air, but really, they are gash.

Pretty much. They are fun to watch though, especially on a nice scratchy ice.

Skiing or snowboarding ...whatever.. I grew up skiing, found snowboarding. For me a bit slower but a hell of a lot more fun!!! Personal preference innit!! Apart from that same thing really. Kinda like some people on here likes geared bikes, whatever floats your boat!

I'm actually quite tempted to give boarding a go, mainly due to some recurring knee problems. Its just so down heartening to think i will go from having the freedom of the mountain, to sitting on my arse and going not very far not very fast, at least for a couple of days anyway. Oh, and the fact i'll have to keep on undoing my binding every five minutes to get on a lift!

I'd also like to point out that the rivalry between skiings and snowboarders is pointless. Firstly, everyone knows the biggest twat on the mountain, is always wearing snowblades. And noone will never be as cool as this guy!

I found Val T pretty awesome in terms of skiing, but the resort just isn't up to much. Did Tigne and Val D'isere this year, the grand motte is superb, i could ski that all day and be happy.

Yeah i think what i mean is more ropes etc, with snow and whatnot. As you can see i know nothing about but i reckon it would great fun, and an awesome challenge.

How do you get into it though? i'm thinking of learning wall climbing etc in the new year, does anyone do that?

I'm off for a week up in Val Thorens in the new year, can't wait!

I fucking love skiing :)

Nice, i'm supposed to be heading out in march but can't decide where. We're going to austria in hope of cheaper beer. Any recommendations?

Has anyone here ever climbed a mountain, not a stroll up Snowden but a proper mountain. If so, is it easy to organise, train for etc?

Me playing Domination on MW2 last night

The Orange Box is a Half Life 2 package.

Team Fortress... now wtf is all that about. I used to play CS:S on my pc, best online game ever!

Are any of the new Trivial Pursuit games any good? I played one a few years ago and it was dumbed down to fuck. Has anyone played the new genus?

have you seen the awful looking factory in Eastleigh where they turn out that crap? Don't be convinced by the homey-cooky packaging and the glib advertising. It's processed food on an industrial scale.

I don't think i've ever been to eastleigh, am i missing out on much?

Unfortunately most food manufacturers are the same, for example if you buy hummus from a large supermarket, it all comes from the same factory, no matter what label they put on it. I prefer the ignorance however and believe that mince pies are farmed in a wonkeresque factory by little men with mince beards and foil shoes.

Probably best if you lay off the pies, just a thought.

This thread is not for you, you are not welcome here.

I had a pack from Somerfield yesterday. OK. Nothing amazing. There's a Morrisons near the office too - will try there today. Is eating six mince pies a day bad for me?

Morrsions are doing 3 for the price of 1 on mr kiplings mince pies. I'm not really a fan of me kipling stuff, but just incase.

Fair enough.
This sounds pretty good though.
Found an old recipe online:

Take a leg of mutton, cut the best flesh of the best flesh (whatever that means!) from the bone. parboil well, then put to it three pounds of best mutton suet and shred it very small: then spread it abroad. and season it with pepper and salt, cloves and mace. Then put in a good store of currants, great raisins, and prunes, cleaned washed and picked, a few dates sliced, and some orange peel sliced: then being all well mixed together, put into a pie (old English, coffin!), or divers pies. and so bake them; and when they are served up, open the lids and strew store of sugar on top of the meat and upon the lid.

     And in this sort you may also bake beef or veal; only           the beef would not be parboiled, and the veal will ask a double quantity           of suet.

I'd give it a go.

Get your mates wife to cook em up, and send em my way. With a Polaroid of course. (If she can find any film)

Earplugs at gigs. End of days.

I know its pathetic, Tinnitus or HTFU? http://www.nme.com/video/id/v7BDZ7KyNRE/search/Lightning%20Bolt

I have to hold myself back until December to start the mince pie consumption, it could get out of control otherwise.

The best are home made for sure.

Or free, can't turn down free fuel

Shocking

I've just had my first one of the year and they are clearly the best thing about the festive period.

The concept is simple.... Rate your mince pies.

Morrisons "The Best" Deep fill Mince pie.
Price: £1.69 for 6
Appearance: Good size, and solid looking. Snow flake and crystalised sugar aesthetic.
Pastry: Nice and firm, doesn't overly crumble, idea for desk munching. Possibly a bit stodgy.
Mince: Good amount of mince, large fruity bits, maybe a little to processed, not earthy enough.
